CREATE:
A Choreography Intensive Application

Application Deadline: March 15, 2025

Please apply here to be considered for the CREATE choreography intensive of NewDANCEfest. Focusing on the craft and the choreographic process, CREATE is a division of NewDANCEfest designed to inspire and empower the next generation of movement makers. Participants ages 18 and older will engage in a dynamic and immersive experience that combines rigorous technique classes, lectures on creative leadership, movement exploration, and guided rehearsals to develop their own choreographic voices. Only ten participants will be selected for this program.

Four participants will be selected to be Emerging Choreographers.

Emerging Choreographers are between ages 18-25, have minimal to moderate choreographic experience, and are interested developing their choreography further. The NewDANCEfest Emerging Choreographer program mentors young, student choreographers providing space, time and dancers needed to explore their choreographic voice.

Emerging Choreographers will participate in the CREATE program of NewDANCEfest and set new works on their fellow intensive participants (mixed levels and ages ranging from 15-25). Choreographers will be under the guidance of our experienced instructors who will be present during all classes and rehearsals. Previous experience is NOT required to be selected as an Emerging Choreographer. Selection is based on many factors including dance background and references.
